There are so many options out there when it comes to choosing a Wedding Day Hairstyle or a special Wedding Hair Accessory to complete your Bridal look. Here are a few of our favorite Wedding Hair Trends from 2011 that incorporate the Vintage-Modern Fashions we SO love!
The Birdcage Veil
Featured in our earlier post on Vintage Hairstyles, the birdcage veil has been a huge wedding hairstyle trend this year. Both modern and vintage, this look is romantic, edgy and interesting all at once. We just can't get over how beautiful some of the photos of brides in these veils are -like Beautiful Bride Amy shown above! With that said, we do suggest to all our brides that go the Birdcage Veil route to be sure to take it off for just a few of the photos though. This goes for any accessories really - it is always a good idea to have diversity in your wedding pictures, so be sure to mix it up!

Fresh Flowers for Your Hair

This look is always in style, especially in Hawaii where it is common to tuck a flower behind one's ear on a daily basis. What type of flower and where it is placed varies widely though! Whether you have your hair all the way up, half up, or completely down, you can add a flower to give it intrigue and romance. Our recommendation: choose a flower that can withstand the test of time! The last thing you want is a flower that will wilt in your hair. Go with something that can handle the heat, be easily secured, and isn't too fragile to the touch -that way you know it will look good until the party is over! Ask your florist for recommendations on the best choices in your climate. We also recommend keeping it small and simple; a too big flower can distract from your own natural beauty.
An Extra Long Cathedral Wedding Veil
We keep seeing more and more full-length cathedral or chapel veils and love this trend! Nothing quite says wedding like a veil and tons of 2011 brides seem to have embraced going all out with this ultimate wedding accessory. We love how these ultra long veils exude wedding drama and watching them flow in a gentle wind is just magical! We do think that this option can be slightly overpowering on a very petite bride though and sometimes looks best with a simple elegant gown design so that the overall look doesn't get too busy. However, we have seen it work on all brides and with all styles of dress, so if a long veil is your dream -we say go for it! Also, we recommend that even if you don't think you like veils, try one on at the bridal boutique! You might be surprised! ;)
Wedding Fastener Headpieces
Often accented with a birdcage veil, we have seen tons of wedding hair fasteners in the wedding hairstyle trends this year. From architectural statement pieces to subtle crystal clips, accenting your hair with a little fastener is a huge DO! When else in your life do you really get to be totally feminine and fashion forward without regard for anyone's opinion than on your wedding day?
Adding Color to Your Wedding Day Hair Style

Since we are on the subject of breaking the mold: who says you have to wear all white? More and more brides are opting to add a pop of color to their wedding look either through their jewelry or a colorful wedding hair piece. This is a great way to incorporate your "something blue" or to pick up your bridesmaid's dresses or wedding decor color for a cohesive but not too "matchy" look. We say if your style is bold, you love color, and you want a truly unique look, choose a colorful headpiece to match your colorful personality! Or, if you want a more traditional look for the ceremony, you can change to a colorful head piece just for the reception surprising your guests and new spouse!
Bohemian Wedding Crowns, Halos,
and Wreath Headpieces

We love all the chic, sophisticated, and designer halos, wreaths, and crowns that we have been seeing in wedding fashion this year. Adding one of these amazing pieces gives your whole look a soft greek goddess or a modern urban princess vibe depending on what you choose. Though we can't all don the vintage Cartier Halo Tiara that Duchess Katherine wore, there are so many unique options out there, especially on Etsy, where you can even have a completely custom piece made just for you!

Vintage hairstyles are extremely hip due to the class and sophisticated taste they echo. The new wave of vintage fashion and makeup conquers the world with its nostalgic aura. The best way to bring back the glam of those years is to reinvent those evergreen hairstyles. Thanks a lot.
